Charles Krauthammer said “the clock has run out on Benghazi” Wednesday night, after Senators John McCain, Kelly Ayotte, and Lindsey Graham held a press conference to say they have no plans to abandon their effort to create a special committee to further investigate the scandal.

He is “outraged as everybody” about the scandal, the commentator said, but as a political issue the country is tired of it and “a special committee is simply not going to work.”

“I wish it had and I do think that Republicans in the hearings that they had, which were completely disorganized, let this thing slip away,” he said.
